Valid SSL Certificate but groovy is giving: javax.net.ssl.SSLPeerUnverifiedException: peer not authenticated

Question

I have already tried using http.ignoreSSLIssues() to make the script ignore the problem.

I have already tried importing the certificate into a trusted keystore and then using that keystore to create a new SSLSocketFactory as instructed by the http-builder wiki page.

I have already tried installing the Unlimited Security policy jars.

HTTPBuilder http = new HTTPBuilder("${host}${path}")
println("Fetching ${host}${path}")

println("Supposedly ignoring SSL issues")
http.ignoreSSLIssues()

def keyStore = KeyStore.getInstance( KeyStore.defaultType )

getClass().getResource( "truststore.jks" ).withInputStream {
    keyStore.load( it, "test1234".toCharArray() )
    println("Loaded keystore")
}

http.client.connectionManager.schemeRegistry.register(new Scheme("https", 443, new SSLSocketFactory(keyStore)) )
println("Loaded new socket factory with keystore")

http.request( Method.GET, ContentType.URLENC ) { req ->
    uri.query = params

    response.contentType = ContentType.JSON

    response.success = { resp, Map map ->
        def json = map.keySet()[0]

        def slurper = new JsonSlurper()
        ret = slurper.parseText(json)

    }
}

And yet, I get the same SSLPeerUnverifiedException every time. Here is the console output:

Process finished with exit code 1

Line 93, where my code experiences the exception, is the http.request( Method.GET, ContentType.URLENC ) { req -> line.

I've verified that my SSL certificate is valid and signed by a Trusted Root Authority by using Chrome (as well as using https://www.sslshopper.com/ssl-checker.html)

I don't understand why this isn't working. Please help!
